It is a bummer and it hurts getting rejected but I think I use my rejections as motivator to get a better job. In my college placements, I was rejected from many companies despite getting quite close at a dream company. Got an internship at a great startup, but didn't get a full time offer there due to some genuine bad luck, hunted for jobs during the pandemic, got rejected some more times and got some offers, accepted one of them and joined it where I have been for 1.2 years. That being said, had I been at the previous startup I had joined as an intern, I might have earned been earning more and it still feels bad from time to time. But having a stable job and stuff to focus on helps keep me distracted.
